As night gradually approaches, the capital city becomes quieter little by little.

The streets were clean and empty, and soldiers went door to door to check the epidemic and distributed items. From time to time, scholars shouted shyly from afar.

Wang Xiao rode his horse all the way. Thinking of today's conversation with Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Zhou Yan was a child who grew up in a big dye vat of power, and he had to undergo more tests of his nature than others.

Wang Xiao also understood that reasoning was annoying, but he was still willing to plant a seed in Zhou Yan's heart. As for what he would do in the future, he would just let him slowly understand it.

As soon as he returned to the Wang family, he saw that Tao Wenjun had already sent a maid to wait at the door.

"San Young Master, Grandma, I sent me to ask you, I didn't forget that I was going to Wen's house for a banquet today, did you?"

"I remember." Wang Xiao nodded, "I'll greet my mother first."

The maid dared not show a surprised expression, but secretly thought in her heart: As for the current status of the third young master, why should I ask my stepmother for my safety?

When Cui heard that Wang Xiao was coming, he was overjoyed. He was very troubled and brought the maids and grandmothers all over the yard to welcome him.

"Good boy, you're busy outside all day, why are you free to come here today?"

He said with a smile on his face. The next moment, Cui thought that this sentence seemed to make Wang Xiao think he was complaining, and quickly said, "Look, you have lost weight. Come on, go get some delicious food."

"Mother doesn't have to bother. I'll go to Wen's house for a meal later." Wang Xiao said, "I thought I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I want to visit him one day."

Uncle?

Cui was confused and thought to himself, where did you come from your uncle?

Oh, it turns out that it refers to my elder brother. I am your mother, isn’t my brother your uncle?

She raised her eyebrows and thought in surprise: Is the third brother trying to support my family? That's right, how can he not help him in this situation?

"Your uncle is also talking about you all day long. You are a busy person, so how can you ask you to visit? Let him come to see you tomorrow."

Wang Xiao was simply answering, "Okay."

My uncle Cui Ping is a big grain merchant...

After saying that, Wang Xiao stood up and said goodbye.

Cui was a little regretful, but he didn't dare to stay anymore. He stood up and sent him to the door. However, Wang Xiao walked and hummed happily, "His eldest uncle and second uncle are both his uncles..."

The tone is weird, silly.

Cui couldn't help but think: This kid's stupidity has not been cured yet...

Sang Luo stood in the corridor with his head down. When Wang Zhu pushed the door out, she stepped forward and put on a big cloak for him.

While tidying up her clothes, she quietly looked up at Wang Zhu. Seeing that the second young master had diminished a little, the sharpness in her eyes faded a lot, and she became more and more desolate and lonely.

"Si Si said she wanted to build a snowman in the yard." She whispered, wanting him to laugh.

Wang Zhu just nodded, pulled the buckle herself, and said lightly: "Your hands are not ready yet, go and rest."

"Then I'll give the young master an umbrella..."

“No need.”

Wang Zhu didn't say much, walked through the courtyard and got on the carriage, and saw Wang Zhen and Wang Xiao talking about something.

"Who made the price of my uncle's food price so high... When my second brother came, I thought you wouldn't go." Wang Xiao turned his head and looked at it, disgusted, "Why are your face worse?"

Wang Zhu sat down and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wang Xiao asked, "Second brother, do you think life is even more boring?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Wang Xiao leaned lazily on the carriage and said, "You take this smelly face to drink someone's full moon wine, which is so bad. What should I do if the little kid is scared to tears by you?"

Wang Zhu frowned, and was annoyed by him.

The carriage slowly moved, and Wang Xiao tirelessly spoke to Wang Zhu: "How did the second brother solve the problem when he proposed marriage to Sisi? He beat him up and ran away?"

Wang Zhu finally became impatient: "Why are you getting more and more nagging?"

Wang Xiao lifted the curtain and looked around, and said, "Wang Fang sent me a message, brothers, guess what it is?"

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is going to attack my second brother?"

"Yes." Wang smiled and said, "The father and emperor are not easy to make a statement about this matter, so Wang Fang received the order to quietly kill the second brother... Tsk tsk, are you afraid of being assassinated in the East Factory?"

"Bored." Wang Zhu still looked like everything was not lingering in her heart.

"Second brother, please leave Beijing." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

Wang Zhu nodded and replied, "It's really a bit boring, it's good to go out to Beijing and take a walk."

Wang Xiao smiled and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"It's the same wherever you go." Wang Zhu said indifferently.

"Then you might as well go to Shaolin Temple to become a monk."

Wang Zhu glanced at Wang Xiao and suddenly asked, "Why do you do all the messy things every day?"

"No," Wang Xiao said, "at most it's for peace of mind."

Wang Zhu sneered.

He thought for a while and pondered: "If you have the heart to be a king and domineering person... it won't work as you do now."

"The heart of kings and domineering?" Wang Xiao was a little surprised and asked back, "Why do second brother think so?"

Wang Zhu looked at Wang Zhu and asked, "What do you think of a brother?"

Wang Zhu had a tacit understanding with him, thought for a moment, and slowly said: "It really doesn't work. The capital has become a place of four battles. The so-called time, place, and people are harmonious. The time of heaven and earth have been lost. If people are harmonious but no place is advantageous, then there is no foundation for hegemony."

"No." Wang smiled and said, "I'm asking why you think so?"

"In the current situation, sooner or later, the capital will not be able to defend it sooner or later. This is what I said, "The time has been lost." As for the geographical advantage... south of Yanshan Mountain, east of Taihang Mountain, and north of the Yellow River, are all plains, with a wide terrain and no danger to defend. If you plan to attract the hearts of the people, it is difficult to defend against strong enemies from all sides." Wang Zhen said jokingly.

Wang Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, the capital of the capital can no longer become the base for Xutu's development. Zheng Yuanhua's layout in the south, using the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a screen, occupying the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and taking over the orthodox inheritance of the country. It is indeed the safest way."

"It's a pity that my third brother is one step late." Wang Zhen sighed.

“It’s too much too late.”

Wang Zhen pondered again: "The Qinling Mountains occupied Guanlong in the Tang Dynasty, and the Taihang Mountains were barriers. Advances could conquer the world east and retreats could hold one side. Now he can live a peaceful life, accumulate grain, train elite troops, and hegemony is expected."

"He can't be calm. He is too anxious and can't manage it at all. You can conquer the world, but you can't sit in the world." Wang Zhu sneered.

"But in short, the third brother is too late in Guanzhong." Wang Zhen sighed, "Let's talk about Western Shu..."

"Zhang Xianzhong has gone to get it."

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Then the world is suitable for development and reproduction, but the place used as the foundation has been divided up."

Wang Xiao interrupted: "No, two brothers, I didn't say I have any domineering intentions, why do you think so..."

"Where is Jing Xiang?"

"No. You can become a bandit in the Dongting Lake area, but it is difficult to accomplish great things. If you make a name for yourself, you will be attacked by the three forces."

Wang Zhen searched the world terrain again in his mind, and suddenly said, "I have a friend who is the magistrate, where he is in charge..."

"I know who the eldest brother is talking about." Wang Zhu knocked his fingers on his knees and pondered: "That place is barely possible."

Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu looked at each other and nodded in a tacit understanding.

"Jiaodong Peninsula..." Wang Zhen sighed: "It's not the most ideal place."

"There are disadvantages and advantages." Wang Zhu said: "Shandong is also a place for four battles, and there are no mountains and rivers to defend. But there is a sea trade to supplement money... Cavalry and naval forces are the key."

Wang Zhen nodded and said, "If you have the benefits of the navy, you can also land in Lushunkou, Jinzhou, and harass Jiannu..."

"Then go to Laizhou." Wang Zhu said: "I'll leave tomorrow."

"Take everyone in your family." Wang Zhen said: "I will write a letter to Wu Pei. He is sincere and my second brother can have a close relationship with him."

"No, brother and second brother, you guys should pay attention to me." Wang Xiao was a little angry and said seriously: "I never thought about becoming a hegemony, never."

He suddenly understood Zhou Yan's helplessness.

Wang Zhen said in surprise: "What kind of hegemony? What did we say?"

A look of ignorant clouds.

Wang Zhuyun said calmly: "I didn't say anything, I just talk about where I'm going next."

Wang Xiao: "..."

"you……"

You two rebellious sons!

Wang Zhu glanced at him and said lightly: "It's inexplicable."
